Treasure of the Chesapeake. Situated on a secluded cove overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, Runaway boasts one of the most unique views that the Eastern Shore of Virginia has to offer. This well-appointed 3500 sf brick ranch vacation rental sits on a secluded, wooded waterfront lot and is the largest vacation rental home in the area. It is also only one of two homes located right on the water with private access. In addition to the private pier on-site, this is the only Silver Beach vacation property that also offers access to a semi-private fishing pier on the Chesapeake Bay.

Runaway boasts a large deck and brick terrace overlooking the cove, pier, and Chesapeake Bay. Five kayaks, a canoe, a paddle boat, a jon boat, and an eclectic mix of bikes for young and old, are provided on-site. Guests can launch from the private pier to enjoy the rural atmosphere, discover historical treasures and watch the waterfowl off the salt waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Bike, walk or jog on the rural road along the bay.

And when you want to find even more adventure, enjoy nearby "Jewels of the Bay" like Tangier Island, Onancock Harbor -bayside, and the Seaside - Pristine barrier beach islands of Virginia's Eastern Shore.

In addition to being the perfect summer getaway, Runaway is a fabulous Fall, Winter and Spring destination for guests who enjoy hunting and fishing.

Enjoy a great amenity filled retreat at off-season rates while partaking in some of the best inshore fishing, game and waterfowl hunting, and birding that the East Coast has to offer. Learn More

Guest Review Snippets

Some of the world's best (no exaggeration) seafood is within a fifteen minute drive. Fishing at the cove (right in the back yard) and at the beach (just a ten minute walk away), with lots of variety, including flounder, striped bass croaker, hardhead, and shark. Crabbing, too, both in the cove and the bay. They even provided poles and tackle!
